In Bud, we trust. Mr. Norris will make his first start as a major leaguer today. Sure, it's because of necessity, but often times this is how a team finds itself a new contributor. His future may not be as a starting pitcher, but the Astros' immediate future has Norris in that role. For those who are unfamiliar with our newest rotation addition, Norris throws a fastball, a slider with good, late movement and is beginning to mix in changeups as well. It would have been nice to give Bud the ball with no pressure, following a win streak of some sort, but injury and poor play have negated that possibility. He'll be throw into the deep end, and we get to see if how well he can swim.
